Vesna [10]3 years ago
8 0

The correct answer is: A. Myofibrils contain thick and thin filaments.

Skeletal muscle cells are called muscle fibers because of their long and cylindrical shape. The plasma membrane of muscle fibers is sarcolemma, the cytoplasm is sarcoplasm, and the smooth endoplasmic reticulum sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Sarcoplasmic reticulum is specialized becaused it is involved in the process of contraction, so it stores, releases, and retrieves calcium ions.  

The functional unit of a skeletal muscle fiber is the sarcomere which consists of highly organized contractile myofilaments actin that are thin filaments and myosin (thick filaments), together with other support proteins.

Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

The effect might be due to the gene expression.

Explanation:

The effect might be due to the variation in the gene expression in the organism. In this way, the variety of the genetic pool is likely to result in a diversity of the gene pool or genome. Because of the mutation and the environmental factors, there is likely to be a slight variation of the species. This results in a slight difference in the phenotypic expression.

JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

Pulmonary fibrosis is a disease that affects the lungs. The lung tissue becomes damaged and scarred which causes it to be thickened and stiff.

The condition pulmonary fibrosis is caused by the replacement of elastic fibers in the lung with inelastic collagen fibers. This decreases the lungs’ ability to stretch outwards.

Pulmonary fibrosis however mainly affects inspiration because the lungs cannot stretch to increase volume while during expiration stretching of the tissues doesn’t happen so it doesn’t affect the process.
